Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Seed the tomatoes and cucumber and dice them with the pepper into pieces about 1 cm (1/2 in).

  2. 2

    Drain the tuna well and flake it into a large bowl with a fork.

  3. 3

    Add the tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, scallions, garlic, olives and capers.

  4. 4

    Stir in the parsley, coriander, mint and cumin.

  5. 5

    Pour over the olive oil and lemon juice and toss gently so the tuna stays in pieces.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and pepper. The capers and olives are salty already, so taste before adding more.

  7. 7

    Rest for 10 min so the flavors meet, then serve cool.
